In qrtr_port_remove(), the socket reference count is decremented via
__sock_put() before the port is removed from the qrtr_ports XArray and
before the RCU grace period elapses.

This breaks the fundamental RCU update paradigm. It exposes a race
window where a concurrent RCU reader (such as qrtr_reset_ports() or
qrtr_port_lookup()) can obtain a pointer to the socket from the XArray,
and attempt to call sock_hold() on a socket whose reference count has
already dropped to zero.

This exact race condition was hit during syzkaller fuzzing, leading to
the following refcount saturation warning and a potential Use-After-Free:

  refcount_t: saturated; leaking memory.

Fix this by deferring the reference count decrement until after the
xa_erase() and the synchronize_rcu() complete.

(Note: The v1 of this patch incorrectly replaced __sock_put() with
sock_put(). As Simon Horman pointed out, the callers of qrtr_port_remove()
still hold a reference to the socket, so freeing the socket memory here
would lead to a subsequent UAF in the caller. Thus, the __sock_put() is
kept, but only repositioned to close the RCU race.)

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260530082243.1123402-1-w15303746062@163.com/

Changes in v2:
- Reverted the change from __sock_put() to sock_put() to avoid UAF
  in callers like qrtr_release(), as suggested by Simon Horman.
- Removed misleading "memory leak" wording from commit message.
- Corrected the Fixes tag to point to the initial commit introducing
  the race (bdabad3e363d).
